    Exactly. The "Americanisation" of our sport here annoys me. Every time I get an advertising email from Hardy nowadays I want to puke. Not because of their products but because of how they now...

    MSN just ran a story about a US hunter killed by a charging Cape Buffalo in Africa. Sad, and not all that uncommon. The photo that accompanied the article showed a hunter with a semi-auto shotgun...
